[PD-dev] "tracking third-party sources" in cvs

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

So I was just reading the cvs docs and I came across this handy 
chapter: 13. Tracking third-party sources

http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.14/cvs_13.html#SEC104

This seems to be the way that we should be tracking code that is not 
maintained in the pure-data.sf.net CVS. I believe guenter was talking 
about switching the pd sources to this method, and I think we should 
use this method for the externals as well.

Basically, the code from the original source is maintained in a 
separate branch, while we work on the MAIN branch (which is the 
default).  Then we 'cvs import' new versions from the source into that 
separate branch and merge changes into the MAIN branch.
